This is a great finishing touch to a bedroom ESP if you are trying to mix it up and not have all wood furniture. The headboard is very sturdy  - I've had it for a month and have leaned against it without any concerns. The only concern is the odor due to off-gassing of the material/filling. Didn't sleep in the room the first few nights to let it air out. Still a faint odor but not a problem. Overall, an excellent addition to the room for a great price.
